Huge Robots Fend Off Aliens in New 'Pacific Rim' Trailer

Guillermo del Toro's dark, apocalyptic vision of the future is filled with monstrous beings from the deep. Earth's only chance? Giant robots, of course.

In "Pacific Rim," each robot is operated by two humans via a neural link, but we already saw that in the first trailer for the movie. This one -- originally intended only for WonderCon -- focuses on one thing only: epicness.

Simply put, everything in this movie is huge. One example: a monster near the end of the trailer is beating on a robot with a tanker as it were a baseball bat. To some, it might be over the top, but to us, it screams "IMAX."

Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba and Rinko Kikuchi star in the movie which opens July 12, 2013.
